While installing PABS system for exporting ‘dangerous pathogens’ all over the world
The World Health Organization (WHO) is demanding that governments complete negotiations on a permanent international system for transporting purported pathogens with pandemic potential and their proxies across the world, while simultaneously claiming that another pandemic is likely within the coming decade.

The proposal raises biosafety, international security, and national sovereignty questions about whether an unelected international organization should coordinate a permanent system for the cross-border movement of pathogens with pandemic potential and related biological materials and data.
The push comes as delegates from WHO Member States meet in Geneva from July 6 through July 17 to negotiate the final operational rules for the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) System, the last major component needed before the WHO Pandemic Agreement can enter into force.
In an open letter to leaders of the G7, G20, BRICS and “all nations,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva insisted that heads of government intervene personally to ensure the negotiations are completed this month. “The next pandemic will not wait for us,” the letter states. “Scientists estimate there is close to a one in four chance of another pandemic within the coming decade, and the ground beneath our old assumptions is shifting.”
The WHO is asking governments to treat the negotiations with urgency. “So we ask you to treat 17 July as a deadline, not a milestone,” the letter states, urging leaders to send “the unambiguous signal that this is the round in which the work is finished.”
At the center of those negotiations is Article 12 of the WHO Pandemic Agreement, which establishes the WHO Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) System, with negotiators drafting “legally binding contracts to be negotiated and signed with WHO.”
The treaty states that the Parties: “hereby establish a multilateral system for safe, transparent, and accountable access and benefit-sharing for PABS Materials and Sequence Information, the ‘WHO Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing System’.”
